Funny guy

[Big Jamie]

This guy's mental. Thought I'd come on here to show this. Does anyone here think that they could handle one of their DWAs like this? I know I wouldn't risk it but if you know your snake well enough I guess it's your choice...

YouTube - watch this PET Rattlesnake THIS IS REALno B.S.

... Snake sounds pissed...

unless its a venomoid then the guys a total idiot, (if its a venomoid hes still a doughnut IMO but thats another story) there was a guy that thought it would be a good idea to put his EDB in his mouth some time last year, it promptly bit him on the tounge in minutes his tounge had swollen so that he couldnt breath and he had to have a tracheotomy, he was lucky to survive.

I wouldnt want to handle my DWAs like that even if I thought I could, which is unlikely because i have a brain

if the venom had been extracted and he had no fangs then yeah i would handle it...however i never put a snake in my mouth no matter what snake it is

if it has no fangs and no venom then it would be no diffrent from any other snake

often the snake would have a replacement pair of fangs growing to replace existing fangs as they may loose a fang for various reasons ie attacking prey they also periodically shed their fangs. And venom once extracted by milking (which proberbly wont get all the venom in its glands) will be quickly replaced.

The only way you could put the risk of envenimation to a bare minimum would be to NOT FREE HANDLE THE THING.

or just dont free handle a venomous snake lol. its just dim. would be an awsome thing to do if it was 100% safe. but unfortunatly this is reality.

[Serious D]

That guy is an idiot.

[Bradders100]

I guess its risky, but wouldnt it help having the animal from young and handling often?

or doesnt that work?
